hi guys,
this is probably some stupid mistake or omission i made...
so far, i was starting X using the startx command (i.e., under ordinary
user). recently i installed xdm to handle my logins (so X is now started
under root, i guess). everything works fine except that after login as

hi,
One possibility is
xauth -f /home/user/.Xauthority extract - $DISPLAY | xauth merge -
where user is the user that logged on to xdm. This will extract the
user's authorization cookie for the current display and merge it into
root's authority file. Then root should be able to access the

Hi,
today I upgraded from slink to potato. Everything worked fine despite ssh.
I enabled X11 forwarding in ssh_config.
When I log from the potato box to another slink box everything works fine.
But when I ssh from a slink box into the potato machine I get a
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: unable to open
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: unable to open tmp file /tmp/Xauthef4473-n
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: unable to write authority file /tmp/Xauthef4473-n
and X11 forwarding does not work. This file (Xauthef4473-n) exists and has
the following
permissions:
-rw---1 myname users
Any ideas how to

Don't do that. The minute root writes to that file (when root logs in to X
or uses the xauth command), it becomes owned by root and the user can't
log in to X anymore.
What you could do is using ssh. This command
